How is Entrapment Proven?
Some questions must be answered in order to consider an entrapment defense:
- Did law enforcement persuade or threaten the accused to confess to the crime?
- Were promises made to the accused by law officers in exchange for a confession?
- Were proper procedures followed by law enforcement?
- If not persuaded to commit the crime by law enforcement, would the accused have committed the crime?
All of the above can be grounds for getting your felony case dismissed. Protect your rights by hiring a skilled entrapment attorney as soon as possible.
